Summary: The role of FPGA/Embedded System Engineer involves working on silicon automation board control FPGA design in Cambridge, UK. The engineer will engage in RTL design, verification, and hardware bring-up while collaborating with board designers and software engineers. This position requires a strong background in FPGA/SoC design and scripting, with responsibilities including developing and verifying FPGA logic blocks. The contract is for 6 months with potential for extension.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, verify, and bring up FPGA logic blocks on our silicon validation board.
• Ensure the FPGA provides vital automation, control, and data collection functions.
• Roll out the design over multiple boards for various stakeholders.
• Develop specific features and maintain and extend existing RTL.
• Collaborate with others to understand requirements and resolve issues.
• Construct reusable IP, build flows, and test environments for rapid system development.
• Create and use automated testbenches to verify logic prior to implementation.

Key Skills:

• Strong FPGA/SoC design background with RTL skills in (System) Verilog and Scripting skills in languages such as TCL, Python, etc.
• Experience implementing designs on AMD Xilinx UltraScale devices using the Vivado tool suite.
• Detailed understanding of timing constraints and ability to improve designs while meeting tight timing constraints.
• Expertise in verifying and debugging sophisticated designs, both in simulation and with test equipment (eg, oscilloscopes) to debug system issues on PCBs.
• Experience running Vivado and ModelSim/QuestaSim in a Linux/Unix environment, including Shell Scripting and Makefile-based automation.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to write coherent documentation.
